Holly cow...why the hell they put such a system in it and it is so sensitive!

Like I said, This car is a scrap metal! I bet you it's the bloody French's doing!

BNR34 still reigns supreme.

At least is not that sensitive and cost a fortune!

i think those driving GTR35 need 2 put bull bars like 4X4 edi

 

[Muhammed]

I think so too , Considering the Cost of simple repairs are so expensive

guys,

11,000 quid for that is no doubt too much. But has anyone know how much would it costs to repair in Malaysia instead. I heard there was a case in KL earlier with the bonnet flew off as the hit was harder then a kiss.

live there before, a so called "type R" cup holder for my Suzuki swift will easily cost me 30 pounds..and tht's about RM150 during that time. Apex'i AFC blue screen back then, was asking for 300 over pounds, and you need to pay 200 pound to get it fixed and so called tuned!!

wht i'm trying to say is, we cant compare the UK price to us here in Malaysia. And FYI, i've just saw a Custom form declared value for a used GTR35 from Japan...135k.... pathetic ... Malaysia government is making us to pay the duty, PLUS allowing the banks to charge us interest for doing so, what a beautiful world for car lovers like us hey?...

 

[Yong_5290]

u mean nissan make the bonnet fly out when u hit sumthing??????

 

[Dayline668]

Not fly off, just pop up the back of the front bonet, so if hit a person will minimise the person damage, the sistem is to save the person the car hit. It's call "Pedestrain safety sistem". In the future more car will hav this sistem i think...

 

[semperfi]

Yup and we are going to pay for the expenses later on to fix back the bonnet.

 

[huakenny]

the hood will pop up when u hit somethings........if more serious, it will trigger ur airbag to deploy...

if just hood actuator pop up, then u change hood actuator x 2unit and airbag ecu...its bout rm18k++

if airbag trigger up, if only steering airbag then it is still cheap...if both deploy..then u need to change the whole dashboard....included ur seat belts....and dashboard alone is rm15k++

and if u banged ur front panel (fibre)....the cost for it is rm10k++.....lolz

anyones need it can find me...im nissan japan dealer :p...

 

[drift_devil05]

woahhh.. thats expensive... how when cat run towards the car when chasing mouse doesnt bang the bumper... lolx... otherwise rm15-18K gone...

 

[wfhan]

to the manufacturer, that is call returning business... :(

It was probably a first time quote by the UK insurance company as they didnt have the expertise to refresh the ECU. A simple cobb unit could have done it i think. Having to replace the whole ECU is a bit extreme IMHO. Labour cost is also a lot cheaper in asia.

Quoted from another member:HINGES
65400-JF06A £94
65401-JF06A £94

HOOD ACTUATORS
B5344-JF30A £685.07
B5345-JF30A £414.12

IP CONTROLLER
284B7-JF50A- £1071.99

So by my maths, it comes to the grand total of: £2359.18

But we haven't factored into account the front bumper, which could be another £1000 for example. Paint & labour, even if you said that was £4000
-------------

Could have saved on the bumper and got an aftermarket or even just a fibre repair, which is much much cheaper.

What i would do (if i had an R35) is remove the the rams and use a cobb unit to save the original ecu settings so the safety sensors/airbags etc can easily be reset. I doubt i will be running into and pedestrians, and if i did, they will probably be dead, including me, the driver. :)

Ps, the North America R35's dont have this system in the cars, only European models and JDM (our grey imports). Not sure about Tan Chong Singapore.
